:hello:

not sure why but the Fisker Karma comes to my mind when I see it.

And you're not? Unless you're an independent businessman, then you are too, my friend. :facepalm:

It is, what it is..:)

I must admit, I rolled my eyes so hard at this...that I saw my brain. :rofl2:

I understand they went out of business.

:hello: and goodbye :hello:

freezing rain this morning :icon14: leaving a little earlier............

Hey good morning Mike and Z crew! :hello:

Gathering myself up for another day. Must have coffee first, tho.

Change name to Brant, and you can understand how I start my day.

Lol I'm glad I never started drinking coffee. I woke up late today and was out of the house in about 6 minutes. Luckily I showered last night haha.

I did my next door neighbor's headlights last night, my new Griots 3" polisher makes the whole job soooooo much easier, and to be totally honest the quality of the job is better. Sometimes with my drill there would still be a little bit of a haze on the lens when I was done. This thing makes them crystal clear. I'll post pics in a minute after I get into my work uniform.

Have you had to clear up the Zs headlights? Has anyone on here? Mine aren't looking too nice.

Griots whore! :rofl2:

Those headlights look great!

Coooofffffeeeeeee.

:iagree: :tup:

:hello: to my offtopic crew :tiphat:

:hello: Morning Everyone :hello:


:mad: that I got rear ended yesterday on the drive home while stopped at a red light

:icon14: that there was absolutely zero damage... like nada, zilch, nothing!

:happydance: that the Saturn Vue has a bumper that feels almost rubbery and hit the Z right smack on the Nissan emblem at about 0.05 mph (I've moved the Z more while leaning on it when parked)

My father had excellent results with an on-the-shelf product recently, even after his mechanic shop attempted to clean up his headlights with poor results. I'll check if he has any leftover or at least ask what he used :tup:

Mine are getting the beginning stages of yellowing, I polished them up with a polishing compound and medium abrasive 3" polishing pad, but I haven't had to sand them down just yet. Shouldn't be too hard.

I use an industrial-grade UV clear coat, so it should last the life of the car unless they take absolute horrible car of their car (ie in the sun 24/7, never washing it, pouring acid on them) it should last the life of the car. There have been multiple tests done on different cars in different locations around America, and none of them have gone bad yet. The product has been out for about 6 years now I believe.

Freakin 8oz bottle is almost $100 :ugh:

Why would I have you come up here when I could go to FL?

:icon14: Glad to hear she's OK!

I learned how to do it on a $24 Meguair's kit that I got from Autozone. I did it on my MIL's Honda Civic and had great results, they looked brand new. But the problem is that when you're done you haven't really done a complete job. They include a 1200 grit and 1500 grit sanding pad, and then some wax and a "plastic protectant" for you to apply. What you need to do is get off ALL of the old UV factory clear coat that's corroding, that means going down to the actual plastic lens. You can't really do this with a 1200 grit sanding pad. You have to start with either 320 or 500 (on really bad ones I've had to use 180 before) then gradually move up in grit. I usually use 320, 500, 800, 1200, 1500, and then polish it with a 3000. By then it looks brand new, but you're not done. You have to apply a QUALITY UV clear coat, not just some wax and some off the shelf protectant. Maybe if you were to apply that stuff every single week for the rest of your life it might look ok for a while, but sooner or later it will come back. Trust me, I've been doing this for a while now and half of my customers are people that tried to use the off the shelf kits only to have it come back in 4 months. I'm probably gonna do a tutorial and take video soon then post it in the DIY. Actually I think I have a DIY posted on it, I can just add video.

Guess who just ordered Swift springs for the Z?

:tiphat: I swear, I thought it was a pedestrian until I look in my rear view mirror and saw the girl's face. She was incredibly apologetic and gushing over the car. We were both relieved when I couldn't find any damage, and she happily gave me all of her insurance information and phone number just in case. It was irritating that she hit me cause she was on the phone, but at least she was accepting of fault and just wanted to make it right.

:tup:

IKR... thank you though :tiphat: I was also relieved when my wife arrived home, and she could not see any damage at all.

I have an audio recording of our conversation after the incident (habit for me now - and legal in TX), but I can't believe I didn't take any photos :shakes head: Obviously, I would have if there had been damage.

I think I am going to be picking it up this afternoon.

Off to San Antonio in the Z to do some inspections :tup:

See you guyZ and galZ laterZZZZZZZZZZZZZ :hello:

Who?
